If you’re using Home Assistant’s old built in Z-wave integration, or the openzwave beta, neither of them support the Z-Pi 7, and neither of them will be getting updates to support it in the near future.

So if you do get it, the software on the raspberry Pi might not be able to use it. The Z-Pi is a developer kit, meant for software developers to test with, rather than a end-user product.

For that to work, you would need your controller software to have “SUC/SIS” support. There is a guide for transferring your existing Z-Wave network from your original Z-Stick to the new Plus model here, although it requires a Windows installation to perform.ĭepending on your controller software, you may be able to then add your original Z-Stick as a secondary controller in your Z-Wave network to provide a greater coverage area and act as a backup controller in case something happens to your new controller. So if you do get it, make sure whatever controller software you are using has definitely added support for it first.Īeotec did release an updated version of the Z-Stick 5 last year, called the Z-Stick Gen5 Plus which works in the raspberry pi 4, as well as having some upgraded features ( Comparison here, including the Z-Pi 7 as well) The Z-Pi 7 is not widely supported as yet, Aeotec is primarily setting it for developers of controller software to be able to test it with their software.
